Jacob Alon's new album In Limerence is out on May 30th. They support Kae Tempest on tour this Autumn.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jacob talk about connecting with audiences at live shows, their experience on mental health medication and the complexities of creating authentic and meaningful art in a traditionally conservative genre.
